Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including 1st branchial arch; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; hepatic primordium; and lung. Orthologous to human SNAI3 (snail family transcriptional repressor 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Data suggest that expression of SNAI3 in ovary is reduced during ovulation, after which it increases gradually during luteinization. During early embryo cleavage, SNAI3 is localized to nucleus, except nucleolus at germinal vesicle and one-cell stages.
Title: Expression and distribution of the zinc finger protein, SNAI3, in mouse ovaries and pre-implantation embryos.
using global gene expression analysis of partially reprogrammed cells, we identified SNAI3 as a novel invasion-related marker in human melanoma. SNAI3 expression correlates with tumor thickness in primary melanomas and thus, may be of prognostic value
Title: Directed Dedifferentiation Using Partial Reprogramming Induces Invasive Phenotype in Melanoma Cells.
The data presented here demonstrate that Snai2 and Snai3 transcriptionally regulate the cellular fitness and functionality of not only CD4(+) regulatory T cells but effector CD8(alpha+) and CD4(+) conventional T cells as well.
Title: Snai2 and Snai3 transcriptionally regulate cellular fitness and functionality of T cell lineages through distinct gene programs.
Data indicate that deletion of snail family transcription factors Snai2 and Snai3 in bone marrow-derived cells is sufficient to induce autoantibody generation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
